I once played the game for seven hours straight and never once got bored!

It's exceedingly addictive, but in a good way, of course. I think I can use it to help improve the focus of my students, the majority of whom have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), the plague of our postmodern age.

I have been diagnosed with D.U.M.B. Syndrome, (Dangerously Underdeveloped Mush for Brains) and this can occupy my time for hours on end. I frequently have to reffer back to this page though because I am constantly forgetting how to operate it.... Wait... what are we talking about again?

Dumb and D.U.M.B. are two diffirent things. "dumb" is a made-up capitalist extortion word used to demean the population. D.U.M.B. is a scientifically diagnosed disease common in today's youth. The fact that they sound the same is complete coincidence... I think....

I believe Komrade Ivanov is correct. Betty, you seem to have forgotten that no one has mush for brains. Everyone is equal. Completely equal. For your dedicated service, you will only recieve a refresher course... this time...

Am I detecting a "Prolier than Thou" attitude from Comrades Ivanov and Koz? You must realize that while all of us are equal, some of us (i.e., the Party elites--nomenklatura) are more equal than others.

Not at all Komrade Palimpsest! Forgive me for forgetting rule 1) of the proliteriate!! I am shamed. I will report for re-education immediately.

Prof. Palimpsest,There was never a "Prolier than Thou" attitude from either Komrade Koz or myself (nor was there any intention to demonstrate one)...I wanted that to be cleared up. Of course we know there are some who are more equal than others! Why would I have been educated by the Institute for Re-education if I was going to lose the education quickly? Just clearing things up.

To be quite honest, there is nothing wrong with having a "Prolier than Thou" (PTT) attitude, provided you're able to back it up with a convincing record of actions that you've taken to promote the Party and its progressive agenda. Frankly, PTT has been the bedrock of my academic career and I've used it quite adeptly to advance beyond many of my equally capable colleagues. Actually, PTT posturing, when performed in the correct manner, is a sure-fire way of rising through the Party ranks. What is the correct manner, you may ask? Ah, that is the question, indeed! It's rather tricky, being contigent on the capricious will of the Party elite at any given moment in time. So be careful!

Nonetheless, it is always advisable to inform against those whom you believe may be engaging in thought crime. Just be sure that they can't turn the tables on you! When the purges come: better them than you, right?!

These will not be for sale. Using such a capitalist method to distribute them would dilute the anti-capitalist message. You must report to the cube ration card distribution center where you will be issued your ration card (average wait in line 9 hours). You must then take your ration card to be approved and stamped by the central committe of cube approval (average waiting time 6 hours, plus you must bribe committee members to get approval stamp). Then you may go to the sube distribution center and pick up your cube!! (wait time 10 hours). Of course to protect against horders, profiteers, and other counter-revolutionaries, you must start and finish this process within the same day.

Forgive me if I am out of line, I am a feeble peasant looking for a chance to rise in the ranks of social equality and moral superiority. I'm willing to sell my soul for reeducation even if I have to wait in line for a week. Advice needed.

Selling your soul is not necessary. The idea of "selling" goes along with "profit". This means that only you and the buyer gain. Instead you must give up your soul for the common good and become a prefect little conformist robot.

They will help you with all questions (in exchange for your vote and rejection of civilized capitalists ways and reality a.k.a. Western Civilization)- Monday through Fridays 3:50 - 4:00 pm, except on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (when closed for diversity training and commune educational seminars and union dues spending sprees).

Well, I tried your approach but the DNC didnt understand the object of the puzzle too well even though they claimed they are a "sanctioned" authority on the people's entertainment. However, they almost succeeded in convincing me that I needed to strap on a few pounds of plastic explosives and take myself to a local capitalist pig shopping center to avenge those globalized oppressive mall rats. In four part harmony, the DNC sang to me about the mall rats:"What have they done to the earth?What have they done to our fair sister?Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit herStuck her with knives in the side of the dawnAnd tied her with fences and dragged her down"

City officials removed the cube for renovation suddenly in March, sparking conspiracy theories and howls of protest from old-time East Villagers, graffiti artists and skater kids alike, who worried it had been removed because of a glitzy new building across the street.

The piece — installed in 1967 as "Sculpture in Environment," and later dubbed "Alamo" — has been a major neighborhood landmark and gathering spot for graffiti-loving gutter punks and drunk frat boys who used it for "spinning" contests.

I oppose The People's Cube Manual. It will divide us into groups of those who know how to use The People's Cube, and those who don't.Comrade,Thanks for your input (ahh, wait...YOUR input?). The People's Cube can be used by all. The People's Cube Manual is certainly not a necessity. In fact, maybe we'll name it as The People's Cube Supplement...then we'll all know how to use it.

The People's Cube continues to win over hearts and minds of the masses!

Inspired by our example, Fred Fry International developed a concept of the People's Chess in which there is no conflict. You are never in any danger of losing either of your pieces or even losing the game.

Example: People's Pawns

Fred Fry International

No longer a bit-player in the real game of chess, these guys take center stage with no other pieces to steal their thunder. Every piece on the board is equally important and every piece is equally protected.

Good job, comrade! How does an honorary degree in progressive revisionism look to you? We at Karl Marx Treatment Center are always looking for new blood red corpuscles.

That chess game still needs much more improvement, Comrade Red Square. As you can see, the white chess pieces are preventing the black chess pieces from advancing by poisoning their malt liquor and using crop dusters to rain down magnesium over their squares which causes the black chess pieces to become “stupid”, “lazy, and “violent” as Dick Gregory would claim. We also have to take into account that the pieces are black and white as opposed to the more progressive and forward-thinking shade of grey which is where real morality can be found.

In short, I give Comrade Fry an “A+” for effort and an “A+” for morally superior failure.

Where's the Red Queen and Bishop Gore?No Mimes...err...I mean Knights?What about the Ivory Rooks of Academia?Sorry I forgot to insert the link to the original post by Fred Fry. I put it where it belongs above.

Here are the the progressive bishops. Each player's pieces have exclusive use of their color squares. You can get right up to your opponents pieces, but you are never in any danger of losing either of your pieces or even losing the game.

The Pieces Too Dangerous to Put on the Board:

Fred Fry

As you can see, I found no place for these pieces in the world of 'new' Chess. First both the Queen and the Rooks are just too powerful. They can run right across the board, creating havoc as they go. Then there are the knights. They have the ability to jump over other pieces, which is very much like walking over other people. That is very un-PC, so they need to go.

The little red cube is excellent teaching tool and such a comfort. In just one match, effects of belonging and conformity are overpowering! Try one hand matches in pocket without looking. Bread lines will never seem so welcome!

My fragile self esteem is not cut out for school (at least private schools where you have to actually earn your grades) or the corporate world, but I have finally found my place in this world with The People's Cube.

On the other hand comrades, boasting about having conquered the Cube with our Superior Collective Brain will seem silly when it is discovered that any and every prole can do likewise. We must convince them that we can do the Cube better than them because we are more equal than them. Then they will know their place within the collective and submit happily to their reeducation station.

Comrade Tonya,

There are many imitators, but none better than the CUBE! You would do well to remember that prole. When our true Leader Red Square delcares that we should party, we PARTY! Got it?? Good newbie. Don't worry, I know you will quickly catch on.

I have bought liberated a Cube. It arrived today but I picked it up today. I must say, I am satisfied with The People's outcome. I shall use it to re-educate myself and everyone around me to turn them into People.

I denounce Comrade Red Square for capitulating to the pressures of the so called "free market" and raising the price of the cube to 21.99 CEUs. Luckily I got mine while it was still 19.99 CEUs, but what does this say about fairness??

Why don't you take a picture or two of the Cube next to some recognizable places in Israel and send them to us as a proof of your loyalty to the cause of spreading total equality?

Luckily I got mine while it was still 19.99 CEUs, but what does this say about fairness??The new shipment of the cubes turned out to be more expensive than the previous one. The retail price had to be raised for the sake of the equality of income as well as outcome!

Very Progressive, Dear Leader!!! This concept would explain why we should all be prepared for massive tax hikes:

1. Spend a trillion CEUs we don't have (deficit spending) under the guise of stimulus and redistribution of wealth2. Insist you're going to half the deficit. Look comrades! I took an empty glass, filled it with water, and will now drain half. Look! Progress! Reform! CHope!!!3. Increase taxes to European proportions to cover the difference and provide equality of income and outcome4. Laugh as the REAL redistribution takes place

CUPON?!?!?!!! The price is quite equal. Click the Dry Goods link at the top of the page, add one to your People's Shopping Cart, PayPal your CEUs (carbon credits accepted as alternative currency as well) over to The Party Coffer, and wait by your mailbox Comrade.

I received my most wonderful Cube today, and spent HOURS manipulating it while listening to NPR. Already I feel much more progressive! Did you know you can make all sides red even with your eyes closed?

Also, is there an exploding version of The People's Cube I can use as a grenade? Twist a side, count to three and then throw it at a Class Enemy?

Comrades this is glorious! I always enjoy coming across psychological projection. It is almost as thrilling as the sick sardonic jokers we secprogs are. Seeing comrade USR get utterly annoyed because we secprogs here at The Cube are far more progressive that he'll ever be is quite rewarding.

Where does line form to sign up for people's cube? How many years are required to receive permission to submit roubles to pay for cube? How many years to await cube to be lost in mail? Finally, how many roubles to bribe reward postman for suddenly finding people's cube in mailbag?

Line forms right where you stand, in the ObamaNation. Year required for ruble submission: 0, please submit all payments NOW! Years to await Cube, 4-8 depending on your degree of re-education. How many rubles do you have? The Postman appreciates a hefty reward for his findings.

Husband does not bring home many roubles after buying vodka at government store. Therefore must save for many months for enough for authentic peoples cube. Am considering using red marker on old rubik's cube somewhere in apartment. Is such recycling activity allowed by compassionate collective?

It is against Party rules to even poses the neo-kulak rubiks cube, this piece of kapitalist debauchery should have burned in your furnace a long time ago. These items have been known to pollute the environment just by there very existence. I understand your concern for The Earth(TM) and trying to save resources, but we are way beyond that comrade. You need a jet plane, a yacht, and a limo to run while you are in meetings, just like The Goreman, if you expect to move forward in the Parties enviro sanctity unit.

Considering job at bar where husband stops after day at tractor factory. Husband said in backwards countries is such a thing as "tips" where waitress actually paid for service. However, does that mean such a job requires smiling? Or delivering drinks without spilling or sampling behind bar with Ivan? Not wanting job that makes too tired to watch Dear Leader spell out glorious future for our people.

Still learning to shed kapitalist thoughts.

Have you heard of these "tips"? It sounds like kulak activity to me. Perhaps should denouce to flag address.

And purchase your People's Cube to support The Party™ in our efforts to stomp out kapitalism! All proceeds go to the Chairman's fund for the proletariat so that he can go on more trips to France with Michelle on Air Force One for shopping sprees. And well... Nancy Pelosi needs another People's™ lear jet. It's for The Children™.

Needing much re-education; hoping to be self trained and not requiring stay in Gulag college of soviet wisdom. Please to not denouce Comrad RedRum to commissar; will submit roubles immediately after husband drinks himself into stupor.

Comrade Collectivists! Come one, come all, to the glorious world of Shiny Things™! For even in the end, The Great Motherland sucked viciously, like the evil KKKapitalist, on the black gold of The Motherland!

And how much carbon footprint will these new electronic cubes create on the planet? BAN THEM ALL, I say. We might reconsider our boycott if they made all sides red - the only carbon-neutral color known to humynkind!

Da, Comrades. Studies must be done comparing the carbon emissions exhaled by persons solving the analog cube, versus the polar-bear-destroying 5-volt USB power being diverted into these cubes. Someone must answer for this crime against the planet!

The True Most Awesome Rubik's Cube Creation Of All Time

This was sent to us by an old Party member Rikalonius, who took the picture apparently while on a fact-finding mission at the White House. President Obama is facing tough decisions daily, and we are just glad the People's Cube is his brainstorming tool of choice.

An essential purchase for Collectivists, a People's Cube. I am learning the glorious satisfaction of "winning" through the absence of competition. The total lack of mental challenge is completely exhilarating. I wish I had purchased the Cube long ago.

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
